You are blind - Akume insults Nigerians for criticizing Buhari

Written By Idoma Television on Monday, April 17, 2017 | 1:04:00 AM

Former governor of Benue State
and senate of the federal republic, George Akume has slammed those claiming
that President Muhammadu Buhari has not achieved anything since he assume power
in May 2015.

He said those accusing Buhari of failing Nigerians are too
blind to see his achievement.

He said, “I want to say with all emphasis that APC has not
disappointed and has not failed this nation. We must recognise one fact that
this government inherited a zero economy, we started from ground zero. Some
said it’s even minus. There was nothing. We had a meeting with the president,
we know what he told us on what he had to do before they started paying
salaries.

“There was no money, don’t forget that when President
Olusegun Obasanjo was leaving, we had N64 billion in foreign reserves. By the
time President Muhammadu Buhari took over, we had less than N30 billion.

“The economy was comatose – everything including toothpicks
were being imported and irredentist movements were all over the place. We had
the Boko Haram ravaging the North-East, and in the South South, we had serious
security challenges. Don’t also forget the fact that we had serious issues of
kidnapping, robbery and the rest. I don’t want to talk about corruption.
Nigerians know very well what took place in the past.”
